C103 Framing (2/2)
Considering that Liu Zhixue was pregnant, Yan Xiaoxi could not do anything about it.
Imperial Concubine Xiao was also a temperamental companion, so she did not say a single word about Liu Zhixue's wrongdoings.
The three of them continued down the stairs as Yan Xiaoxi supported Liu Zhixue with her hands. She was extremely serious. At this moment, if anything happened to Liu Zhixue, she would definitely be involved.
She felt that even if Liu Zhixue had a venomous heart, she would not joke about her own flesh and blood. Seeing her cautious and nervous appearance, it seemed that she also cared a lot about the child in her womb.
Perhaps, this child was the reason why Nangong Zhen married her.
”Slow down.” Seeing that they were only a few steps away, Liu Zhixue quickly pulled Yan Xiaoxi back, slowing down her pace.
”Right.” Yan Xiaoxi glanced at Liu Zhixue doubtfully, and could only follow him as they walked slowly.
Imperial Concubine Xiao silently followed behind the two of them, her steps consistent.
Suddenly, Liu Zhixue finally saw a few tall and imposing figures in the distance. She turned her head and glanced at Imperial Concubine Xiao. The two of them nodded in understanding.
”Almost there.” Yan Xiaoxi did not understand why Liu Zhixue was having such a hard time. The two flights of stairs were so difficult, and she was truly worried to death.
”Thank you, little sister wangfei. You've worked hard.” While the two of them were talking, another indescribable force suddenly pushed Liu Zhixue away.
Yan Xiaoxi reacted immediately. She reached out to pull Liu Zhixue away, but she was unable to keep up. She could only watch as Liu Zhixue fell from her side, unable to stop herself from shouting out, ”No!”
Yan Xiaoxi hated Liu Zhixue very much, but the child in her womb was innocent. Seeing her life slipping away from her eyes felt really bad.
She stood rooted to the spot, stunned.
”Meng'er.” Up above, other than Nangong Zhen, who just happened to witness this scene from the royal study, he shouted out in a heart-wrenching voice. With a few steps, he rushed to Liu Zhixue's side.
At this moment, Liu Zhixue was lying on the ice-cold ground. There was a lot of fresh red blood spilling around her, which had long dyed her goosebumps red.
She tightly held onto Nangong Zhen's clothes as clear tears flowed from her eyes. ”Child, our child, His Highness the Crown Prince, you must save her.”
She was crying so much that she couldn't stop from crying. From this, it could be seen that she was really nervous about the child in her womb.
However, her entire body fell down the stairs. After losing so much blood, her child was most likely dead!
”Meng'er, don't worry. The child will be fine.” Facing such a helpless Liu Zhixue, Nangong Zhen could only console her.
Even though he also understood in his heart that he would not be able to protect this child, the current Liu Zhixue would no longer be able to handle this heavy blow.
”It was Princess Lin who pushed me.” With that, Liu Zhixue, who was in Nangong Zhen's arms, fainted.
”It wasn't me. I wanted to hold back the other consort.” Yan Xiaoxi tried to defend herself.
”Princess Consort Lin, you're so vicious. Didn't you say you couldn't have children? Are you joking with me?” You actually had the heart to push her down. ” To the side, Imperial Concubine Xiao bitterly accused.
Yan Xiaoxi turned her head and was stunned. On the stairs, Nangong Xiao and Nangong Lin were standing side by side.
In an instant, she understood that this was a trap.
A scheme to invite someone to join them was to let Nangong Xiao, Nangong Zhen, and Nangong Lin see this scene and see her personally push Liu Zhixue down the stairs.
It was no wonder that Liu Zhixue had been stalling for time. She had long since planned everything out. She knew that the three of them would pass by this place and cooperate with Imperial Concubine Xiao to present this perfect scene.
